Lazareth LM 847: A Super Motorcycle like no other!

The Lazareth LM 847 is a limited edition 4.7L V-8 motorcycle that has a Maserati engine. To be honest I am not sure if I can classify this beast as a bike especially when it is a 4-wheel pendulum. What bike has 470 horsepower and a torque of 490 Nm?

This bike has a top speed of 400 KM per hour and acceleration of 0-100 km in 2.6 seconds! The engine displacement is 4691 cc. The Lazareth LM 847 has a V-8, 32 valve Maserati engine. With a total weight of 400 Kg, this is not a motorcycle, this is a rocket!

The French manufacturer only made 10 of them with a price tag of $217,000! The closest bike ever made that comes close to this beast is the Dodge Tomahawk V-10 which is priced at $550,000, weights 680 Kg and has an exact top speed of 400 Km/hour.

Unlike the Dodge Tomahawk, which in my opinion was made to generate media buzz, the Lazareth is street legal. It even looks way more beautiful in my opinion than the Dodge Tomahawk:

One of the special features of the Lazareth is its ability to tilt thanks to a special design and kinematics of independent suspension. With a wheelbase of 1850 mm and 4 17" wheels, this bike is very stable the minute you start moving.

With such superpower, a bike like this can only be stopped by the two 8-piston calipers on 420mm diameter perimeter discs that come with it. One more thing to mention, this bike has one speed only and the power is transmitted via a torque converter.

Finally, the sound of the Lazareth engine is amazing, I have never heard such engine sound, except maybe in a Maserati or Ferrari! Here is how the engine sounds:



I am not sure if I would ever buy this bike, but I would die to take it for a test drive!

Ziad EL Shurafa Suzuki GSX S750 Review: The Suzuki GSX S750 has approximately 115 HP. This is such a brilliant and powerful bike. My review of the Suzuki GSX S750 was based on riding it on a track mainly.  This bike once is on the road is predictable, nothing that will scare you or make you nervous. The bike is smooth and comes to life at 6000 RPM, not just with the character but also with the sound. Ziad El Shurafa Review of the Suzuki GSX S750 The Breaks on the front are 310 mm Twin Petal Discs and the rear discs are single petal discs. The suspension on the front is 41 mm HYB inverted and the back LINH type, Coil Spring. The bike tends to move a fair bit when you push it, but with the correct settings of the preload, it should get better. The tires are coming from Bridgestone. Specifically Bridgestone BATTLAZ Hyper Sport S21. The front is tubeless 120/70-17 and the rear is 180-55-17 tubeless as well. Great grip and feel on the front as well as the ...

Hello, Ia m Ziad El Shurafa. I love motorcycles and I owned a few of those babies. While I lead a very busy lifestyle as a Citizenship By Investment Consultant, I always made sure I have hobbies I love. I love Traveling, horseback riding as well as music. The moment I took the Ducati 1199` for a test drive I decided to buy it. At the time it was the lightest and the fastest bike there is. I reached a full speed of 195 KM/H.
